Pricing & availability: linustechtips.com The Stinky Footboard is the first major step I've seen towards a USB butt plug since the idea was given to me a number of years ago by my old boss. But seriously, we need more ways to take advantage of body parts that we weren't already using to input commands to our PCs. This is progress.

The video opens with an unboxing and first impressions of the Stinky Footboard, a four-button foot pedal that promises additional input options beyond traditional foot pedals. The host walks through the contents of the box, highlighting a detachable USB cable, an Allen key for spring swaps, and color-coded springs with different tensions. Construction details are emphasized, including a T6 aluminum top plate, stainless steel center bearing, and a plastic bottom housing with a custom PCV shell, all designed to survive the rigors of foot-based use. There is a strong focus on durability and practical design elements like a removable cable and a cable-routing shape to prevent tension on connectors. The presenter also notes the product’s unique selling point of four modifiers, enabling up to 16 functions, and explains how that could benefit both gamers and people with disabilities by freeing up hands for other inputs. The narration touches on price and availability, acknowledging the $120 price tag and mentioning listings at major retailers, while encouraging viewers to consider future lower-cost versions or alternate control ideas, such as tongue-controlled interfaces. Overall, the unboxing frames the Stinky Footboard as a versatile and forward-thinking peripheral that expands how we interact with computers, beyond conventional keyboards and mice.
